Spring Fever
OK, What happened to the warm weather? Chemo went pretty well last week. I did get sick during the infusion but that was the first time. I am still pretty sick to my stomach but at least it only comes in waves. Mom went home today but it has been wonderful having her here to take care of everything. She and my sister Debbie have been in charge since last week. My house has never been so clean and organized. I saw the plastic surgeon on Monday and he put me on antibiotics. He was suspicious that I have a slight infection developing in the skin. He wouldn't fill the implants until he knows I am not running an infection. I saw the allergist today to help me with my cough. Don't you just love when the Dr. says..."we never see this." I guess I have a very high number of allergy cells in my nose which is causing me to cough. They aren't sure how to treat me because they would prefer to give me steroids but my oncologist does not think that is a good idea right now. They have started me on a nasal spray to see if this helps and they put me on prilosec. I guess heartburn can cause coughing and the chemo gives me heartburn. I am exhausted today but I think if I got out more that would not be as bad. Noah has been home sick all week too but he is finally feeling better. We are looking forward to the 8th grade play tonight. Oh and by the way, Alex made the soccer team! I hope it warms up for the games!
